The demand for paper and paper products is increasing globally and this has resulted in deforestation, posing a grave threat to the environment. Paper and paper product manufacturers are thus, employing waste paper management services, driving the waste paper management services and equipment market. Strict environmental rules are also helping in the reduction of deforestation and promoting paper recycling. Moreover, the rising awareness among urban consumers about waste paper management is likely to drive the growth of the market. The literacy rate has grown tremendously over the past few years owing to the development of the education sector. This in turn is generating large quantities of waste paper, which needs to be recycled.

The key challenging factor that hampers the growth of the market is the difficulty in acquiring waste paper from domestic source. Another factor that restricts the growth of the global waste paper management services and equipment market is the loss of fiber value due to reuse. However, the availability of cutting-edge equipment and technology for waste paper recycling in the near future will emerge as an opportunity for growth in the market.
